Re: Ebert: A Critical defense of Crash

Bulworth, White Men Can't Jump, and even something like Guess Who are the three that popped into my head. Guess Who was below average as a movie, but still IMHO did a great job in treading the line between caricature and real.

Perhaps I used the word "analyze" and "sledgehammer" incorrectly here, but I felt Crash was just a collection of racism stereotypes all thrown into one movie, and all the contradictions within the characters were predictable. To me, it didn't raise any new points or change my thinking in any way.

At the risk of starting something here, I wonder if there is any demographic segmentation between the people who thought Crash was a great movie vs. those who thought it was contrived...most of my close friends are minorities in the US, and very few of them thought Crash was anything special...
